Laying one down is always hard on them. You are correct that the
unit would need to stand for 24 hours if you lay it down. There
is no change or harm on when you turn it off.

I sold a used refrigerator on ebay and want to demonstrate to the
buyer that it's still working as shown in the ad. It's my
understanding that if you lay a refrig on its side you're
supposed to
wait a day before you fire it up to allow the oil to drain back
out of
the lines into the compressor. Are there any potential issues
with
laying it down or even transporting it upright immediately after
it's
been turned off?
Thanks for all info.
